Umm... when I typed in reupholstered I was sure that spell check would tell me it was wrong but it didn't. I love when I unexpectedly spell a word right. That doesn't happen very often.
I wish I had a true before picture. I didn't take a picture of the chair before I painted it red. So you will just have to use your imagination. When I first got these chairs they were brown wood and the fabric was cream swirly-ish. I painted these chairs like 3 different colors. First I painted them purple, them royal blue (yuk) and then finally red which I like. Then I attempted to reupholster them. This is the first thing I have ever reupholstered so it was definitely a learning experience. I used a mustard yellow velvety fabric and then finished it off with a blue trim. I attached the blue trim with fabric glue. I had never used fabric glue before and was actually quite pleased with how well it worked. I will be using it again.
Anyway, here are my chairs. I say chairs because there are two of them I just took a picture of one of them.
Ta duh!
Ta duh!
